Happy Baby, happy Parents

                            Drawing on almost 40 years and around 6,000 births, midwife Eszter Rebecca Blum sets out a clear, practical approach to the first months of life. Her six simple rules — being full, playing, sleeping, crying, drinking and cuddling — show parents how a calm daily rhythm, sensible boundaries and small rituals give a baby security and let the whole family thrive. Co-written with a graduate social pedagogue, the book combines hands-on experience with pedagogical insight, and gently challenges the idea that a contented baby means giving yourself up. Its central claim: crying babies are not born, but made — and much can be prevented from the very first weeks.
